December 14; 1864. i;'),#lllinfmsiing, LOCAL ITEM GOSSIP WITil OLTAFRIENDS.—Tbere is a tide, to well as an untied in the affairs of men that taken in ita thSod will lead to all sorts of queer results. This new and original idea has been Suggested - Vy some sombre Sunday thoughts on :Poor old Chambersbum. I had been reading Dr. Schneek's Book on "The Burning of Chambers .burg,"._ and like the client, who cried bitterly when fits lawyer described his wrongs, remarking: "that lie did not know before how badly he had been used"—so I felt my wounds bleed afresh, and seem sorer than-ever. It was a devilish deed, and one that will be visited upon the rebels most Poor old Chatnbersbucg ! A new Cliatubersburg may arise, Phtenix-like from the ashes of the old, but the . hallowed old resting places are gone for ever. Thank, God the cerneteries remain, where can one day be gathered all together. Should it be my lot to die away from hoine4 trustmy dear gossips will bring on ray body and place me where my friends - and kindred lie. 11. very hour in the dayi miss something familiar, something that ha bit had rendered. absolutely neeetotary to my com fort. omy Nadu, my books: dear, th it hful friends, what stia - 11 — .1 ,do without you! We bear it very well, all of us, don't we It is grace, isn't it 7 • We forgive our 'enemies, don't we 1 Bah! War is war, and pence is peace. Suppose we have a public meeting, and vote Gen. 31'Causland a ser vice of plate, inscribed: " To our friend M'Caus - land, who enabled ?if to put in practice the highest christian virtues, including the forgiveness of our enemiei”- Well, well, if we can only bear it with thesame fortitude that the New York dailies did! By the bye, these same papers cried aloud, and spared not, when the Rebs tried to set their town on fire. It is said that Mr. Greely's visage was eleatefor the first time for years, owing to the eo piods tears be shed, with hig: face 'buried in his hands. Bennett's face wouldn't wash clean—in deed one would suppose his tears would soil any thing thertnight toueh. I fan-feel spiteful at G. and 8., and I do not love them any better than I do.Geueral Lee, and do not respect them half t so much,-but surely every loyal man must feel hor rified at the abortive attempt of the rebels to de the great city of New York, with as many of its inhabitants as possible. When we take into eonsidetation that scores of families inhabit a sin- — gle house, and that each one of the many hotels is —rcrowdid with. hundreds of strangers, to the height' I.of five and six stories, one can imagine what must have been the consequence of the success of the diabolical scheme ; but, we do hope that Messrs. G. & B. were thoroughly frightened. even unto a trembling of the lower limbs. I was in a large - mange - dory the other day, that employed a great number of women ; and while looking around, the foreman said, "Look here!" I looked, and there under the work counter lay a sick little girl, some -six years old, whiles the poor mother, near by, earned her daily bread. It was a sad sight, and caused sad thoughts. The mother must work, and if her child gets sick she must work all the Jaime, and must either leave it u ithout any care, or bring it along. The little thing looked pale and thin, but was more.emnfortable, most likely. in the busy workshop, than she would have been at home. I asked what the woman could earn, and was - informed that she was elk of the best workwomenin the shop, and could earn a dollar a day. 0, ye, who waste money by the dollar, and time by the day, remember that you will one day have to give an account for both. It is hard to . be poor, but thank God there will be an end to poverty With life, when many a Lazarbs will fall heir to a fortune. What can be more beautiful than New York • ..Bay with its two silver tributaries on a bright crisp morning! The %%titer sparkles like diamonds, and every here and there reflects the bright clouds and the gay shipping• The numerous ferry boats add life, if not beauty to the scene; and of all gtjliaful things in the world, not excepting a horse or a woman, a ship is the most graceful. The little steam tugs give force to the view, puffing _g-along, sighing, and groaning, and wheezing, and 'inorting-as much as to say, like Sam. Johnson (not-him of Boswell fame, but him who erat swept chimneys in _Chambersburg,) " fee a little nigger; hut I stays wid a man." The songs and cries of the sailors add tothe poetry of the picture - —all is so cheery, so busy, so lively. But on a damp (sound your p in damp) foggy morn. ing how changed the scene. Each one wraps himself in his otercoat, whether of cloth or _mitts pereha, and consigns himself to cogitations on the ' vanity of human wishes. Even the handsome . policemen look like roosters in a shower. The ladies cover up their heads and expose their le—feet. The fog bells ring dolorously as though - in mourning for a dead. sun, notwithstanding which an occasional colli•don resulting in the tear ., it.A r . t awityji large piece out of each collider, and "'lightening some fifteen hundred people E almost - out their wits, gives each one a chance to vent • his ill humor aloud. • Brooklyn abounds in street cries, all of which would be-perfectly incoMpreheasible were it not for occasional glances one gets into the wagons or trays of the itinerants. There is an old woman whom I pass nearly every morning who sells ap 'plea.- Her cry reSsembles the wail of an angry toil-cat, trimming " s!" A fish merchant stalks along in front of his wagon with a Most solemn and desponding countenance, and all at once, when }stn_ least -expect it. he utters his astounding cry. First a sigh of misery, as though be bad seen better days, then a groan, and then a war-whoop. Sometimes:ton think be may have trodden on a copperhead, again that he may have sat on what the boys cull a bum-bee's nest, •or that an enraged bull may he ;Arguing with him a posteriore." At all events the closing bowl is the most fearful sound I ever heard. One could imagine it to be the agonized death cry of a soli darity of goterntnent mules ! All this time he is only persuasively informing the citizens of Brooklyn that he has "F -r-e-.'-h F-i-s-h " for sale. _Bow fearful mould be the tones of that man's voice were he to be angered.. I hear with pain that party spirit runs high in ' - C. Friends, this is nu time to argue politics. Lincoln liar been elected, let us obey hizn; and we hope °tit. Republican coadjutors will allow a Democrat to have °pillions of his own, however , iiha6Sious, for men can couscientionsly •differ on any subject. Dinft let us call one another hard nanies—itip not christian, it is not decent. Naw - Vents.. December 10, lefif.

It is legitimately organized for the prosecution of the oil business, and among its officers and chief . manners is J, ter Esq.,,of this place. Of all the WeSteni Vir g:tan properties now being developed for Oil, this seems to be the most , promising, and investments are made it with great confidence by men who have a practical knowledge of the Oil business and the location of the company's land. It prom se% well as a dividend paying corporation. Sub-, seriptions will be received at various places:is stated in the advertisement. The nominal capi tal of this company has been made ::500,600, and the cash price of the shares made two dollars. The Imperial Oil Company mu, oresnized in Philadelphia yesterday, and is in strung, awl cm eigetie hands, and the stock will be taken sery rapidly. More titan half of it was engaged the formal organization \+us efliTted. The stock can .. be had from ll'Clure & Stoner, & Kimmel], Geo.'R. Messersmith, J. McD. Sharpe. Thos . .

We believe that it will be made .me of the most successful Oil operation. now on the market, Thii, Company has the largest reserved ehrtal ut and now organized. One-fourth of the entire capital —52.50,000, is reserved fur development and the interests of the stuck-holders. The Sterling Oil Company elleied their book,: yesterday—the stock having been 'sold. It will doubtlese 'command an advance. The capital hue been reduced to 200,000 shares. in order to eon_ form to the new act of Assembly of July last. During the last ten days no less than eighteen new Oil Companies have been organized in Phil adelphia with an aggregate oapital or $12,700,. Ono; and what is must remarl.able ir, that, most if not all the stock will be taken-110 anxious ore . people to arrest in Oil. True, not one hi tvi_tg the non producing : properties will eser payttitf; thing, but men take the chances because if they happen to bit it pays them immensely. Very many of these companies are purely boOs—em bracing lands which are not now producing and not expected by the original owners to produce anything ; but if the Stock can be sold, the par. ties on the " first floor" make their handsome profit, and Stockholders can take care of them selves. -Many - of them are not even intended for development, and the stock nomially set apart as a working capital is never sold. The invest ment of the Stoekholders is therefore literally thrown away without even a show : for the pros pective profits., The Sterling Oil Company has a certain revenue, and u ill pay dividendson its cash .capital from the start. and the Burning Sprini ,and RubleTurra is being honestly devel oped with every reasonable prospect of success; but of the entire list of eighteen new companies we do not knOw anotiwr that we could 'e om meni There., may be others—most likely there are u few—honestly organized and promising well. but we do not know of The following is is list of the new companies put_ upon the market with in the last two week- Sterling' Oil C.

Of the 215 organized Oil Companies now on the market, but 41 have ever declared a dividend, and probably not more than half the dividends so declared Were honestly earned by revenues from oil. The public can tot, therefore, be too cautious about investments this dazzling but most doubt ful channel of trade: No other stocks will pay sO largely and reliably as Oil stocks if investment are judiciously made., but in no other branch of trade , will so much 'Matey he lost by investing in prospective productions The Bank of Chambersburg is now doing busi ness as the "National Rank of Chambersburg," and will soon be supplied with the new National issues.

In order to secure the assistance and co-operation of the people in the endeavor to keep the enrolment lists condo ually correct, the Enrolment loards have been directed to have copies of sold lists kept open to the examination of the public at all proper times, and shall give public notice that any person may appear before the Board and have any name stricken off the list, if he can show, to the sada• faction of the Board, that the person named is not properly enrolled, on &Mount of, ti let.

Especially civil officers, clergymen, and all prominent citizens are invited to appear at all times before the Board to point out errors in the lists, and to give such information in their possession as may aid in the correction anti revision thereof. Theyshonld understand that it is plainly for the interest of each stthrdistrict to have stricken from the lists all names improperly enrolled, because an exceas_of names increases the quota called for from such sub•distrietar, and that it is equally for the interest of each person enrolled in a given sub-district to place upon the lists all persons in the sub district liable to do military duty, because the greater the number to be drawn from the less the chance that any par Bandar individual will be drawn. It is the personal lute- - rest of every enrolled man that the quota in which be is concerned shall not be made too large, and that his own. chances for draft shall not be unjustly increased t both These objects will be attained if all portico will aid in striking out the wrong names and putting in the right ones. Especial. ly is this the interest of those drafted men who by putting In substitutes themselves liable to draft, have secured ex emption, which, by the terms of the law, holds good only until the present enrolment is exhausted in them sub dis tricts. Men who are over 45 years of age, and in conse quence excused by law from the performance of duty in the field. owe it to the cause and the country to take a zeith ens and active part is the correction of the enrolmentlists, a military service of the first importance. The law re quires that the quotas shall be assigned in Proportion to the enrolment, and the fairness and justness of this mode 'of determining the amount of military service due from each and every section of the country, cannot be doubted; . if the enrolment is made - as nearly perfect as it is possible to make it. The amount of service due to the nation from every town or county, is thus laid fairly and plainly before the citizens. audit is expected that a higher motive than a selfish interest, will prompt all to do their share in perfect ing the enrolment, and securing ajust and edicient execu tion of the laws for raising troops, whenever it becomes necessary to apply them.
